Hi there!

After installing WinUAE a while ago, I really got the spirit (amiga-spirit, you know what is :lol: ) back, and bought an AT4000 tower so I could play with the real thing :-D
To bad I have to sell my 1200 to finance it, but, nevermind, I have always wanted a 4000...and now I'm getting the tower version! Yikes! :-D  I'm happy-happy-childish-sleepless :-)

Let's hope it actually works, or I'll scream like a 5 year old getting only soft gifts for christmas :lol:

Where did you get it from?

Bought it from a guy here in Norway who seems to snoop out Amigas from everywere, companies and so on, you know. This particular was supposed to belong to Dnb, Norways largest bank/financial institution. Don't know what is has been used for though, as it is bog standard, harddrives are ripped out, and no cards to give any clues about use etc. Maybe it's been running a Scala-presentation? Hope not, that means countless hours at use.... :-o
That reminds me, I'll have to ask the guy who sold it, as it is always interesting to know the history of the equipment.

 If it was in an air-conditioned environment (like a bank) it should be in good shape. Many Electronic boxes last longer if they are rarely turned off, as its less stressful.
 
Hope you found a nice A4K!   :-)

@Morley
   Good luck with your A4000, hope you have as much fun with it as I do with my A2000 and A3000.  The people here are all good folks eager to help newbies along.  Best regards....Art
